Enter the Room

  Chapter 361

  Yuan Yunzhong sighed softly.

  Song Cuiyun can always grasp the key points.

  He didn't expect to be able to hide Song Jiyun from the beginning.

   "I don't know who instigated those refugees to kill the court officials." He whispered, "With the emperor's nature, he will definitely not let these refugees go."

  He looked at Song Jiyun: "Many of these refugees have never even tasted salt, what do they know about civil uprisings? They are just being used and driven by others."

   Song Cuiyun agrees.

   "But if there is no quarrel between me and King Ning," he lowered his eyelids, and his distinct eyelashes formed a crescent-shaped shadow in the eye socket, "how could they be used by others? Driven by others?"

   "I," he paused, "I want to recommend myself to deal with the refugees outside the city."

  Song Jiyun thought subconsciously, go whenever he wants.

   It's just that she didn't say this, but she immediately reacted.

  This is not the era she lives in. All kinds of public relations methods are frequently used. Even if the negotiation fails and the besieged is just a matter of a helicopter.

   Fifty thousand refugees, if they riot and are besieged, there is no possibility of them surviving.

  She couldn't help but tightly grabbed the corner of Yuan Yunzhong's clothes: "No, can you not move. Let's think of other ways."

  Her face was as pale as snow, and fear appeared in her eyes for the first time.

  Yuan Yunzhong suddenly smiled and hugged her in his arms.

   "Yun Duo, thank you!" His soft voice came to her ears, "I don't know why, but I always have a vague feeling that you are particularly stubborn in pursuing fair treatment and an equal relationship. This is especially true for the servants around you. Others may want to make them loyal, but you are not. You are just used to treating people like this."

  He kissed the top of her head: "You know what? When I thought of going out of the city to deal with refugees, my first worry was not whether I could come back? Would I be hurt? What would your attitude be?"

  Song Jiyun came back to his senses, thinking about his words, and vaguely understood what he meant.

   "I'm afraid you will support me. That will make me feel that I am in your heart, maybe like everyone else. As an official of the court, I have the duty to save people from fire and water. What's more, this matter has something to do with me." He said, "I am afraid that you will stop me. I will be soft-hearted, afraid of danger, and afraid that I will not be able to protect you in the future."

   Song Jiyun's eyes were sore when he heard it: "I want to be more selfish in your affairs."

   "I know, I know." Yuan Yunzhong hugged her even tighter, as if wishing to rub her into his heart, he murmured, "I promise you, in an emergency, I must protect myself first, okay?"

  If he was really such a person, he would not have thought of mediating this civil uprising.

  Song Jiyun closed his eyes, leaned against his chest, and remained silent for a while.

   "Can we convince the emperor first?" She spoke again, her voice a little hoarse, "As long as the emperor agrees to lenient and catch King Ning's instigators, can most of the refugees be resettled according to law?"

   "Hmm!" Yuan Yun said in the middle, "I'm afraid that everyone thinks that heavy codes are used in troubled times, and it is better to kill the wrong than to let it go."

   "Then you should ask the emperor first." Song Jiyun insisted, "Let's see what the emperor has to say."

  In this world, if there is no support from the emperor and the situation collapses, it is impossible for Yuan Yunzhong to retreat unscathed.

   Moreover, it must be ensured that when Yuan Yunzhong deals with those refugees, there will always be someone in the court to support him, otherwise the emperor suddenly changes his mind, and Yuan Yunzhong's situation is also very dangerous.

  She gradually calmed down.

  Since the refugee matter is a knot in Yuan Yunzhong's heart, even if she can stop him, he will not be at peace for the rest of his life.

  Some people, one of the pursuits in life is to have a clear conscience.

  Since she decided to be with Yuan Yunzhong, she should respect his decision.

  Song Jiyun let him go slowly, and said: "Let me explain to you first. If you are gone, I will definitely remarry."

  Yuan Yunzhong was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and rubbed her hair vigorously in a good mood.

  She glared at him, snatched back her black hair, and said seriously: "I'm not joking with you."

   "I know." He looked at her tenderly, "I won't let you down. I still want to grow old with you!"

   Song Jiyun only felt sad.

  She said: "Then send me to Mr. Jinghu!"

  Yuan Yunzhong was stunned.

  Song Jiyun squinted at him: "Aren't you still rushing to see the emperor? If you want to fight against the outside world, you must settle down first. Send me to Xijiang Mixiang, so you can go to the palace quickly."

   "Okay!" Yuan Yunzhong smiled, his eyes were as bright as stars, shining brightly.

  Song Jiyun shook his head helplessly, and accompanied him into the carriage.

  When the car drove out of the alley, she found that all the people coming and going in and out of their house were official servants.

  Yuan Yunzhong took her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, Wang Hua will take care of these things."

  *

  Pocket Hutong is in the east of the city, and Xijiangmi Lane is in the south of the city. The carriage passed through half of the city and stopped in front of an unremarkable Ruyimen courtyard after traveling for more than an hour.

  Director Shao may have received the letter ahead of time, and has already brought a few servants to wait at the door. Seeing their carriage, they immediately came forward, bowed to Yuan Yunzhong and Song Jiyun and said with a smile: "The old man is very happy to hear that Miss Song is here, and he has been waiting in the house for a long time."

  Yuan Yunzhong laughed when he heard the words.

  His smile is very bright, it is the kind of joy that reveals joy from the bottom of his heart, which is completely different from the usual restrained smile with a bit of restraint. Not only that, but his voice was soaring: "Really? Did the old man have breakfast? What did he eat? Who's with him? Is it in the study or the hall?"

  He was afraid that Song Jiyun wouldn't understand, so he explained to her: "After my grandfather's 60th birthday, he didn't like to go out very much. He slept until the beginning of the day and didn't get up every day. He only ate two meals a day."

  Song Jiyun looked at the sky, it should be just past time.

   "The old man is the same as usual. He got up in the morning with a bowl of white porridge, a hard-boiled egg, a plate of Chinese cabbage, a plate of sauced cucumber, and a plate of braised fish." Manager Shao replied to Yuan Yunzhong's words while leading them into the door, "Because Miss Song came, the old man didn't let Mr. Huang and the others accompany him, and he was waiting for you in the flower hall!"

  Yuan Yunzhong smiled at Song Jiyun and said: "Mr. Huang's name is Yunfeng, and he was a juren in the orthodox 14th year. My grandfather used to be an aide. After my grandfather became an official, he had no intention of an official career, so he became a guest at the grandfather's house. He usually talks, writes, and entertains old friends with his grandfather. He is very kind."

  Song Jiyun nodded with a smile, but pondered Yuan Yunzhong's words in his heart.

  He asked Mr. Jinghu if he was in the academy or the hall. Treating guests in the study room means intimacy. Treat guests in the hall with respect. Mr. Jinghu knew that she was coming, and it was his first time, but he met her in a place like the Flower Hall, which is usually used for teasing. What does it mean?

  She glanced at Yuan Yunzhong who was full of joy, and raised her eyebrows secretly.
